Stonewall Project Clinical Internships

Please note: Recruitment for Stonewall Project clinical interns for the 2015–2016 academic year has ended. Recruitment for the 2016–2017 cohort year will begin in early January of 2016. Our internship program is described below. On occasion, we may accept advanced clinical interns outside the cohort who are seeking to finish hours of experience for state licensure or are seeking specialized training in harm reduction. To inquire about this, please contact Robert Holum, LMFT, at (415) 487-8067 or rholum (at) sfaf.org.

We accept applications from students enrolled in master’s programs in counseling, psychology, or social work (MA, MS, MSW, MEd), post-master’s MFT Interns and ASWs, and alcohol and drug counselors seeking California certification. Prior experience with harm reduction approaches, substance use counseling, or working with the LGBTQI community desired. Candidates of color, Spanish-speaking bilingual/bicultural candidates, HIV-positive candidates, and candidates successfully using harm reduction or 12-step principles in their own lives are especially encouraged to apply.

We believe that San Francisco can be the first U.S. city to end the HIV epidemic. Everyday, we provide free prevention and care services to people in hard-hit neighborhoods—and advocate for them to public officials—because we can envision the day when we beat HIV.
